"The Stockholm archipelago" Top 5 Page for this destination Helsinki Things to Do Tip by sim1

It is morning and the ferry arrives back in Stockholm. The arrival time is 10 o'clock and that gives plenty of time to make it an easy start to the day and have a look at the Stockholm archipelago.
Just outside of Stockholm there are many smaller and bigger islands (the Stockholm archipelago) and from the top deck of the ferry you have some great views over the surrounding landscape. You have to be on deck on time though! I would say that at least an hour before arrival time you have to be on deck to enjoy the views.
It is amazing to see how these huge ferries manoeuvre through the narrow passages in between the islands. And there are quite a few of these ferries around! It seems like Stockholm is a favourite place to go, or to return home :-)

In the picture you can see one of the ferry that we were passing this morning. If you click on the picture you can see a few tiny islands behind the ferry. Some of the islands are barely big enough to fit one house on! :-))
